Because the C6 unit will sell like hot cakes and they would rather have a TON of profit than a good amount of profit from older cars???

I don't care, as long as they make one for our C4's and it works well. Works well in my book also means it doesn't allow water in during operation on wet roads (road spray kicked up by the traffic in front of your car).
